woke up to the single digits...

 mom has all these plants in the kitchen. she woke up last night after 1 hour of sleep to see how they were and get some heat on out there. i was still up since she has the tendency to sleep walk sometimes. i told her wouldn't it make more sense to just turn the furnace up. thankfully, that logic made sense to her and she went back to sleep. one thing i can say with certainty, there will be no plants in this house once she dies.

i wrote 2 poems last night. anytime i get close to my birthday, the poems start to flow. misery and death never seem to be that far away.

the New York Rangers lost at Montreal last night, 5-4 in OT.

the conference championship games are set in the NFL. the Bills beat the Ravens last night, 27-25. Buffalo will play at the Chiefs for the AFC championship. the Eagles beat the Rams yesterday, 28-22. the Eagles will host the Commanders for the NFC championship.

The Agency was excellent last night. next week is the season finale.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be watching the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame game tonight for the national championship. after that, i'll probably watch some of Monday Night Raw on Netflix.

i do plan on watching some NBA games today.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i know i will be doing some writing today and tomorrow and probably send out some poems as well.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

time for me to catch up some sleep.

until tomorrow kids...

fuck war.

so, today was one of those days...

 i had to mail out a book today. i got everything ready and went into the garage to start the Highlander. it wouldn't start. well fuck me. so, i called AAA and they said they would give me a jump in about 90 minutes. ok. 90 minutes later, the guy was pulling up into the driveway. nicely played. he gave me a jump. said the battery looks fine, the sensors said it just needed charged, but said you should probably get a charger for here in the garage. good point. mom has ordered one from Amazon today. she went with me to the post office so i wouldn't have to turn the Highlander off. i got the book mailed and we went back home. i started the Highlander back up to get the mail before the snow started. thankfully, it started right up and was good. once that charger gets here, i'm going to make sure it stays charged, at least through the winter. the battery is like 8 years old, so i know damn well a new one is needed soon. so yeah, that was how my day started. good times.

i wrote 5 poems last night for the book. that brings that total up to 25. a few more nights like that and i'll have 40 in no time.

Notre Dame defeated Penn State, 27-24, to win their semifinal of the college football playoff last night. Texas and Ohio State plays tonight.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against the Devils, 3-2 in OT.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This?

i will probably be watching the Ohio State vs. Texas game for most of the night.

i will most likely be on here early tomorrow. since there will be a ton of sports on tomorrow.

we are getting more snow right now. probably about 2 inches so far, with another 2 to come.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i should have known better...

 so, i have done my best as i have aged to be more optimistic. yesterday was an example why there will always be a part of me that knows such bullshit is a farce. Ohio State lost yesterday at home to Michigan, 13-10. Ryan Day has now lost 4 straight games to that team. that hasn't happened since the late 80's to early 90's. as i told my mother last night, he'd be lucky if his house wasn't burnt to the ground by this morning. while i do believe Ohio State will make the playoffs, i won't be shocked when they lose in the first round and everyone is fucking fired. 

the New York Rangers tried their hardest to fucking lose yesterday but managed to end their losing streak, defeating Montreal at home, 4-3.

the USWNT and England played a 0-0 draw yesterday.

WWE Survivor Series War Games was really good yesterday.

AEW Collision and AEW Rampage was ok last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Somebody Somewhere and two episodes of The Agency.

so, i did get up in time this morning to watch Manchester United absolutely destroy Everton today, 4-0.

the New Orleans Saints play today at home against the Rams. hopefully, the Saints will find a way to win.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:

 i woke up this morning after yet another restless evening. i wasn't expecting to have 6 poems published this morning. i always joke, no one hates success as much as i do. i can feel the rain coming in my bones. this is going to be one of those days where i'll give the side eye to my 8 year old self and acknowledge, yes, i know, death would have been the better choice. 

the New York Yankees won last night at Minnesota, 5-1. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

 i'm not sure who first told me about the kiss theory. but, i know damn well, it is a theory i fucking live by. now, if you aren't familiar with it, the kiss theory is keep it simple stupid. it is amazing at times, but it fucking works. and i absolutely love when people try to complicate shit and it always becomes the simple shit always works. life, sports, whatever...

that brings me to the Dayton Flyers game last night at Davidson. Dayton won the game 72-59. and honestly, i think they should have won by more. they will play UMass on Sunday.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

I Can See Your Voice was hilarious last night.

i did catch the USA vs. Finland game today at the World Juniors. i was not happy when the USA went down 2-0. i was thrilled when the USA won the game 3-2. they will face Sweden on Friday for the gold medal.

the art of holding a shit for 25 minutes...

 so, i was sitting in the waiting area while mom was getting the injection for her back. i felt some gas coming on and knew it wasn't going to be one of those farts where you can get away with in public. i started to think about baseball or whatever to not concentrate on the building pressure. mom got done and i got her into the Highlander and thought i was doing pretty good. i had to shift a few times while i was driving. she wanted a Frozen Coke from McDonald's so i went there. thankfully, there was no line. 5 minutes later i was pulling into the driveway. now, i have learned over the years to not panic and rush in these situations. take your time and rush when it is is necessary. i made it to the toilet after i put mom's rollator away in the garage. thankfully, it all made it into the toilet. holy fuck. i'm surprised i didn't break the fucking thing. 20 minutes later, i was taking a nap. what a day.

Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace today 3-0 in the Carabao Cup. that was a pleasure to watch. what a change. the teams will play again on Saturday in the Premier League.

the Yankees won yesterday against Arizona, 6-4. that was the final home game of the season. they start a series tonight at Toronto. they need to win 3 of the last 6 to finish over .500 for the 31st season in a row.

The Voice was really good last night.

 i was really hoping to have this blog done by now. but, pain has a way of getting in the fucking way anymore. plus, it got colder last night, and my body really slows down when the cold hits. oh well.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to the Devils, 2-1, in OT. i was hoping the Rangers would play like they did on the road. sadly, they fell back into the same old mistakes, turning down shots, trying to put on a show for the fans. and now New Jersey has life in the series. great.

when anger never leaves...

 so, the Yankees were up 5-3 last night in Cleveland, in the bottom of the 9th. i figured Holmes would be coming on for the save. apparently, so did the players. when Aaron Boone brought in Schmidt instead, my first reaction was what the fuck. of course, the Yankees lost the game, 6-5. after the game, Boone said Holmes was only going to be used in case of emergency. apparently, having the bases loaded and holding on to a 5-4 lead isn't an emergency. Holmes after the game said he was good to go and told the coaches that before the game. so, one of them is lying and considering Boone can't coach himself out of a wet paper bag in the playoffs, i'm going to say he is. i'm so fucking sick and tired of how this team plays in the playoffs, i'm at the point where either Boone needs to go. or, maybe it is time to finally have a new GM for the first in a quarter century. or hell, how nice would it be if Hal Steinbrenner grew a set of balls and got rid of them both. i won't be watching Game 4 tonight, even if the Yankees are winning.

here are your highlights from the MLB playoffs yesterday:

so, when i saw the clock this morning, it was 6:30. i had been asleep for roughly 2 hours. i decided to sleep a little longer and then i would get going. that little longer became roughly 9:10 this morning. so much for getting the blog done before Manchester United played this morning.

Manchester United finished 0-0 against Newcastle today. United was fucking horrible in the final 3rd today. they had point blank chances they fucking missed. that's how you make a draw feel like a loss.

the Saints are playing at home today against the Bengals. it is currently 7-7.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.

i did watch a little of the MLS playoffs yesterday. i will probably watch some today as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Last Week Tonight, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Let The Right One In.

the baseball cards i got from Repacked Wax yesterday were very good. a good handful of the cards were from before i was born. 

i think i'm going to fill out my absentee ballot today. i don't trust the postal service much anymore, so i'm going to fill it out and send it way before the deadline.

the Saints are currently up 20-14 at halftime.

here are some of the highlights from a crazy Saturday of college football:

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i should be on here in the morning/early afternoon tomorrow. unless i actually get up early enough to get my haircut and get a flu shot.

happy labor day...

 it started raining last night and i woke up this morning to a thick fog. we're supposed to get more rain today. joy. i always love spending a holiday in pain.

so, the big plan today was to get the poems out first and then do this blog while doing my laundry. of course, nothing in my life ever goes as planned. so, the blog is first today. the poems will go out later, most likely after a shower and my laundry.

Manchester United defeated Arsenal yesterday, 3-1. that made me very happy. United is now 5th in the Premier League, 3 points out of 1st.

the Yankees won yesterday down in that dump in Tampa, 2-1. Aaron Judge hit his 53rd HR to lead off the game. he ended up scoring all the Yankees runs in this series. the last player to do that in a 3 game series was Babe Ruth. the Yankees start a 4 game series at home this afternoon against the Twins.

the season finale of The Chi last night was very good.

Big Brother was good last night.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

these are the days where i smile at the thought of death...

 so, a friend was supposed to come over last night and bring some medical marijuana for my mother to try. we're kind of searching for something to really actually work on the pain she has. and maybe this is why i don't have many friends, as the friend never showed up. now, she claims she came by and texted and called, but i got none of those. i was sitting in the living room, watching television, waiting. and waiting. and waiting. around 1 in the morning i gave up. i feel bad for my mother as she doesn't know still if the medical marijuana would work for her or not. 

so, the plan today was for me to go meet her as this was her day off. i got all the grocery shopping done and now i'm waiting to hear from her. and i'm not going to be shocked to be handed another handful of excuses why we couldn't meet, etc. it is beyond frustrating at this point.

and that brings me to death. as i listen to my mother cry herself to sleep from the pain, how i can't lift my right arm without some nerve getting fucking higher than a kite in joy, etc. etc. have i written enough that i would be remembered? i strongly believe that as long as 1 person remembers you and shares that gift, you are still alive. just not experiencing any of the pain or bullshit that comes with being alive. and that is what is the tempting nature of death. the sheer relief from the utter wastefulness and bat shit crazy bullshit that is humanity. as much fun, as much love, as much freedom that could be enjoyed on this earth, every other fucking thing on the flipside of that is life as well. now, i'm not saying life should be a bed of roses. i'll never forget that the most beautiful roses grow in the smelliest shit ever. i'm just saying if you come across this blog and there hasn't been a post in a few weeks or so, i found the secret door to death and leaped at the god damn chance to free myself from this earth. and that is the most beautiful thought anyone could ever have.

the Yankees defeated the Orioles last night, 12-8. Rizzo hit 3 home runs last night. he now leads the majors. hopefully, the boys will win again tonight.

the New York Rangers lost to Carolina last night, 4-3. oh well. they will finish second in the division and have home ice for the first round of the playoffs. they play Montreal at home tonight.

NXT was excellent last night.
